'This Generation' in the Bible

"To what then shall I compare the people of this generation, and what are they like?

And [as] the crowds were increasing, he began to say, "This generation is an evil generation! It demands a sign, and no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah!

For just as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so also the Son of Man will be to this generation.

The queen of the south will rise up at the judgment with the people of this generation and condemn them, because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and behold, [something] greater than Solomon [is] here!

The people of Nineveh will stand up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it, because they repented at the proclamation of Jonah, and behold, [something] greater than Jonah [is] here!

so that the blood of all the prophets that has been shed from the foundation of the world may be required of this generation,

from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who perished between the altar and the temple building. Yes, I tell you, it will be required of this generation!

But first it is necessary [for] him to suffer many [things], and to be rejected by this generation.

Truly I say to you that this generation will never pass away until all [things] take place!
